Join us for a screening of "I Am Not the River Jhelum," a powerful film set in Kashmir, India. Directed by Prabhash Chandra and produced by Sukriti Khurana, the film explores themes of silent suffocation and unresolved trauma against the backdrop of an uncertain and violent Kashmir. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers, offering a unique opportunity to engage with contemporary South Asian cinema and its portrayal of complex sociopolitical issues.

This event is co-sponsored by the Asian Studies Center and Muslim Studies Program.
